Oct 13, 2022: Washington Post: ​Anita Kerr, ‘Little Miss Nobody’ behind Nashville Sound, dies at 94
Ms. Kerr and her vocal ensemble, the Anita Kerr Singers, sang in the background for countless country music performers in the 1950s and ’60s, creating the Nashville Sound that sent Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold, Skeeter Davis and Hank Snow, among many others, to the top of Billboard charts.

​Mary Frances Penick (December 30, 1931 – September 19, 2004), better known as Skeeter Davis, was an American country music singer best known for crossover pop music songs of the early 1960s. She started out as part of The Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, eventually landing on RCA Victor. In the late '50s, she became a solo star. Her best-known hit was the pop classic "The End of the World" in 1963. One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton and was hailed as an "extraordinary country/pop singer" by The New York Times music critic Robert Palmer.

Skeeter Davis writing and singing answers on Here’s the Answer (1960). Davis sings “answer” songs to hits by Jim Reeves, Hank Locklin, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, and Ray Peterson — “I Really Want You to Know,” for instance, in response to Arnold’s “I Really Don’t Want to Know.” Half of this album isn’t Davis at all; you’ll hear, for instance, Reeves singing “He’ll Have to Go,” followed immediately by Davis’ “He’ll Have to Stay.”
